Different Today And Forever!!

Those Who Will Drink From The River Of The Water Of Life As Clear As Crystal!!
Those Who Will Eat From the Fruit of The Tree Of Life That Brings Healing From It’s Leaves!!!

Then Moses said, you have been set apart to the Lord today for you were against your own sons and brothers and He has blessed you this day. Exodus 32: 29

Moses is speaking to the Levites.
They are the Jewish tribe that become the Priests of the Lord.
For when the people were running around worshipping the golden calves, the Levities stood up and chose God, the Only God, the One Leading them.
It’s why they are the ones that minister at the temple of the Lord.

They are symbolic-first- of the whole nation of Israel.
Because their whole role of being Chosen, was to be set apart to the Lord.
That this whole people group was then and has been different from the whole world.
For they worshipped The One True God, not the world system.
That they were called to be the Priests to the World.
That merely being different, living differently, praying differently, worshipping differently, was to lead the whole world to The One they worshipped.
That this would make them different than their sons, brothers, and from other nations.

This is also to foreshadow what would happen, and did happen when Jesus, the Messiah, the Prophet walked on the earth.
That when He-Jesus-called Israel out to His new way of receiving His sacrifice, His payment, His completion of the law, that only a tribe of Jews would turn and follow Him.
This we see happened when He called the Apostles,
The small portion of the Jewish people who believed Jesus.
Made up of the 11 remaining Apostles and the rest of the 120 in the upper room in Jerusalem.
That they were those set apart, following The One True God, Jesus.
That this turned them in opposition against their brothers, their sons, the Jewish people.
That their actions, their understanding, the way they surrendered, the way they now worshipped The One True God, Jesus, was setting them apart, making them different than other Jewish people.

And this applies to each and every person since then.
To everyone-Jew and Gentile-who has believed and received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
For then we become different.
We become new creations.
That our old heart, our old thoughts, our old ways, have been, are being removed.
That we are now set apart.
That we now live worshipping differently.
That we now living, praying differently.
That we now worship The One and Only True God, Jesus Christ.

For God was showing us what we should look like.
For God was showing us what we will act like.
For God was showing us that like the Levites, like the Apostles, we will then lead people to The One True God.
That we will conquer people, our people, and other people groups, for Jesus.
That we will slay the enemy from their hearts.
That we will remove the paganism from people, ending their lives of obedience to the enemy.
Leading them, to God, Jesus who gives them life and eternity.
God, Jesus who then sets them apart, makes them different, living in the right way, the only way, to live forever, His way.

May we know that we know that we know that our living differently today, will give us an eternity, a forever time, living with the Lord, where the earth and all those on it, are now bent walking, living, directed on the right path, that will make up for any and every lack, a 100 fold that we feel we lost in this life having had to be set apart, having had to swim against the current, having had to stand up and stand out.

May we know that we know that we know the Kingdom we are going to, where we will belong, where we can say yes all the time, is:
Where the earth will yield.
Where sickness and disease and death have been wiped away.
Where fear has been removed and all will live in peace, and inner security.
May we know that we know that we know this Kingdom of healing and love is a place:
Where we will-instead of having to fix broken things- we will live in creating things in love, in pleasure, in joy, that prosper.
A Dr. Suess land-oh the thinks we can think.
Where our imagination now will have paled in comparison of the new colors, the new adventures, the new creatures, the new abilities, the new challenges, the new understanding, the new wisdom, the new riddles and puzzles to solve, the new joys and the new pleasures.
Living in a completeness, a fullness inside us.
With our Lord and Savior Jesus in His good good ways that prospered us today and will prosper us tomorrow and forever.
